The bootloader was installed to /dev/sda - problem is - this was the USB stick. It doesn't look like it installed the bootloader to /dev/sdb - which would have been the SSD drive on this netbook. So, I left the USB key in until grub appeared, then removed the USB stick. This made the SSD come up as /dev/sda From there on, I needed to edit /etc/grub.conf to properly show the correct drive layout of the system: root(hd0,0) instead of root(hd1,0) Then run: grub-install --recheck /dev/sda Then install grub again just to be sure: grub-install /dev/sda Then I could boot ok. I'm wondering if it is worthwhile checking if /dev/sda is a removable disk / USB stick, and if so, move onto the next as default?
